I'm not sure what your experience is with databases, but jumping right into ODBC is probably a very frustrating path. If all you need is one table (I think that's all you alluded to in your post), then EDS is probably a decent solution. EuSQL (which uses EDS) can handle indexing for you. Setting up a record locking scheme shouldn't be too hard, although EuSQL currently opens a file exclusively, so that would need to be altered if you decided to use EuSQL. Matt Lewis
